Abstract

In this work, we present a gravitational dual to a constriction Josephson junction constructed from the AdS/BCFT correspondence. On the gravity side, we consider a planar AdS-Schwarzschild black hole. Our junction is connected by the boundary Ω\partial\Omega with tension Σ\Sigma on the boundary CFT. This approach lead us to analytical solutions rather than usual numerical methods. Our computations on the gravity side reproduce the standard relation between the current across the junction and the phase difference of the condensate controlled by the tension Σ\Sigma. We also study the maximum current's dependence on the junction's tension and size and reproduce familiar results.
